You could start baking it and turn it into quicklime

This video was not planned for public, but it was yesterday that our kids looked like this. Enjoy Tone, next episode.
i always thought this is what he wants to do all day but now working in the shop. This was his weekendjob last weekend. We will see.

Dad and I looked at a 1950 Chevrolet DeLuxe 4 door sedan yesterday. Guy wanted 500 dollars. Turns out he knows my Momās side of the family so he held the car for Dad to get the money. Looks like it has a 216 6 cylinder OHV, three on the tree.
Itās a rotten mess on the inside but the exterior is mostly there. I hope the frame is good. Dad wanted it because itās as old as he is and he used to have a 1956 Belair as a teenager. I forgot to take pictures, I was busy talking to the guy. Car is still a 6 volt Positive Ground system, the previous owner had it starting to run but then a lot of smoke started coming out of the dash so he quit working on it fearing wiring issues. The glass is all there and thatās a big bonus.
I can tell Dad is already emotionally invested in the car because of its age and I think heās been looking for something to occupy his time.

Giorgio, I started digging this canal with a heavy heart, because I know that there will be a lot of work, first excavation, then crushing rocks, filling the canal and leveling the surface.
The Lord Creator has indeed blessed us with a beautiful land, but the cultivation is quite demanding.
The test gasifier that Kristjan tested was damaged during operation after Kristjanās last post, but it successfully passed the operation with torrefied wood with praise. This unit only had air preheating with hot gases, well, I think it would work well with moist charcoal or moist air.
If we know and it is a fact that the processes in the gasifier take place at 900-1000Ā°C, we have to bring and heat 3 kg of air to this temperature to convert 1 kg of charcoal, which represents a lot of energy (0.66 kWh), we cannot completely replace this with preheating, maybe only 0.4 kWh, if we add to this the energy for evaporating 1 kg of water (0.7 kWh), we see that the total energy consumption of 1.1 kWh for such preparation of moist and preheated air is almost 14% of the energy of the charcoal. What does this mean for the quality of the gas and the work produced by the engine?
If I were to make my own conclusions, the difference, these 14%, should represent a āpoorerā gas, and on the engine shaft, this results in a doubled difference - 28%.
There is a difference, however, in the simplicity of the system, reliability, etc., perhaps the complexity of manufacturing, etc.
Anyway, it is good to talk about gasifiers and understand the technical details, so it is easier to decide what kind of gasifier to build, where it makes sense to improve something and why.
